Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

"Would you like to get up?"

Xin Guoguo raised her hand.

The long armor on her fingers seemed to reveal the majesty of a queen mother.

Concubine Wu stood up softly: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Cuizhu, please take a seat."

After Concubine Wu sat down, Xin Guoguo looked at her pale face:

"It's freezing cold, and you're not feeling well, so why are you out here again?"

There was kindness on his face.

Concubine Wu covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times:

"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, so I came to see her. In my current state, I don't know how many times I can see her again."

Xin Guoguo frowned: "Don't think too much. Just take good care of him. Xiao Si is thirteen years old now, and it's time to start discussing marriage. It's up to you as his mother to arrange it. If he has a child in the future, you'll have to take care of him. There's no need to worry about life and death!"

When Concubine Wu heard these words, a bit of fascination appeared in her eyes.

But when I think of my own body, I can't help but feel sad:

"I also want to, but I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. The imperial physician in the palace has been taking care of you all year round, so you're still alive! Don't say such depressing words. The human body is the most miraculous thing. If you always think about being sick, even if you're not sick, you'll be three points weaker."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Concubine Wu didn't dare to say those words anymore, as they would make her unhappy.

Then he started talking seriously about the Fourth Prince:

"Speaking of Xiao Si, I heard from Concubine Rong the other day that after the New Year, she will be shown to the Third Prince. Next year will be the same year when the Crown Prince gets married, which is double happiness."

"What did the Queen say?"

"That...I don't know. I didn't ask any more questions."

Concubine Wu lowered her head, coughed lightly from time to time, and her face turned pale little by little.

Xin Guoguo nodded: "Next year, Xiao San will be 15 years old, and Xiao Si will be 14. You should also prepare and start looking after Xiao Si next year. It will probably take another year or two until the look is ready!"

"Here."

Concubine Wu responded softly.

She came here today just for this matter.

It was a precedent in the Great Qi Dynasty that the marriages of the princes, especially the important event of marrying a princess, were usually arranged by the three giants in the palace, namely the empress dowager, the emperor or the queen.

Even these concubines, many of whom are the biological mothers of the princes, have no right to interfere.

What's more, she is just a foster mother.

Concubine Rong asked for the emperor's grace.

She had no choice but to come to the Queen Mother.

Having achieved her goal, Concubine Wu did not stay long. She chatted with Xin Guoguo for a while about family matters, talked about the Fourth Prince's recent studies, and talked about the interesting stories she heard from the palace maids, then left.

As soon as Xin Guoguo and the others left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The concubines in the harem really have eight hundred minds, and they are all honest.

Just from talking for a while, she felt exhausted.

Fortunately, she is now the empress dowager and does not need to participate in any palace fights. Usually, these people are the only ones who try to please her.

Otherwise, she would be exhausted to death? !

Not long after Concubine Wu left Ci'an Palace, everyone in the harem who was well-informed received the news.

Queen Tong twisted the handkerchief in her hand and knelt in the Buddhist temple without opening her eyes.

She was reciting Buddhist scriptures.

After listening to the report from the personal maid, she just said lightly:

"Let them do whatever they want. At least nothing will happen in the harem."

Seeing her master's look of "not wanting to care about anything", the palace maid Chunyu could only sigh helplessly.

Her mother is so miserable!

Although she was the queen, her two princes died young.

The current crown prince is still the son of the late queen.

There is also a Concubine Wu.

Although she was a concubine, she was the Empress Dowager's niece after all, and she also adopted the Fourth Prince.

The other concubines all have princes.

This made the Queen, the main wife, feel a little embarrassed.

Chunyu no longer disturbed his master from chanting and quietly left.

She also didn't notice the coldness that flashed in the eyes of the master who made her sympathize with him the moment he opened his eyes.

The queen just looked up at the kind-looking Buddha statue in front of her, then closed her eyes again and continued to recite the scriptures.

Rong Fei's place.

Hearing the palace maid's report, Concubine Rong sneered:

"Our imperial concubine is so proud and arrogant! Even though she is in poor health and looks ready to... her desire to compete has not been affected at all!"

The maid Man Yue was puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the Imperial Concubine wants to compete with you?"

"Not only that! The Fourth Prince's marriage was not given to Concubine De, but to her, the adoptive mother. Over the years, she and Concubine De have been fighting so hard, and she didn't pay much attention to the Fourth Prince. Why is she suddenly concerned about the Fourth Prince's marriage? You know, the prince's legitimate wife is very important."

In the battle for the throne among the princes, the wives' families are the natural defenders of the faction.

Man Yue showed pity on her face: "The fourth prince is so pitiful."

Rong Fei sneered again: "What's there to be pitied about? Our Queen Mother is not a fool."

Man Yue looked confused again.

But Rong Fei didn't explain to her any further.

Some things can only be known in the heart and cannot be expressed in words.

Although the Empress Dowager is Concubine Wu's aunt, she is also the Emperor's mother and the grandmother of the princes.

Which of these latter two relationships is less important than Concubine Wu?

Although the Empress Dowager has not been in charge of much affairs in these years, how could a person who could support the eight-year-old emperor to ascend the throne and maintain stability in a situation surrounded by wolves in the newly established Da Qi be without any means?

The Empress Dowager could not have been unaware of the tit-for-tat between Concubine Wu and Concubine De.

Just because they were allowed to make trouble over the past few years does not mean that the Empress Dowager will allow them to harm the Fourth Prince.

Didn’t you see that although the Fourth Prince was not valued by the Emperor and was not cared for by his biological mother and adoptive mother, he was still treated the same as other princes and was not bullied by servants?

This time, Concubine Wu’s calculations might have been wrong.

And she...

Concubine Rong elegantly picked up a grape and started eating it.

She was just waiting to see the good show.

In Concubine De's palace, broken porcelain was scattered all over the floor.

The Fourteenth Prince pursed his lips, looked at his mother's ferocious face, and dared not cry.

The nurse knelt on the ground and held him gently.

"Bitch!"

Concubine De was so angry that she kept scolding Concubine Wu.

The palace maids kneeling on the ground below were all silent and dared not make a sound.

"Go, go to the prince's residence and call the fourth prince."

Although the palace servants felt some sympathy for the Fourth Prince, they did not dare to disobey his orders at this moment.

I could only respond with “yes” and ran out.

After a while, the palace maid who went out came back.

De Fei didn't see anyone, and her face darkened again: "Where is the person?"

The palace maid lowered her head in fear: "My queen, the fourth prince was just called away by Aunt Cuizhu from the Queen Mother's palace."

"Crash!"

Another large piece of porcelain was swept to the ground.

"This old man is here to cause trouble for me! Go and guard the gate of Ci'an Palace. As soon as the Fourth Prince comes out, let him come over. I don't believe he can stay in Ci'an Palace forever!"
